Here's an interesting angle I thought of on the way home:
Since 1991 (the year The Swamp was totally enclosed and became a hostile place to play) UF has only lost to these QBs (I think its accurate, strictly from memory):
Charlie Ward
Patrick Nix
Chris Weinke
Ken Dorsey
Matt Mauck
Casey Clausen
Eli Manning
Christina Rix
My point is this: these QBs, although not all Heismans, were all competent field generals of pretty potent offenses - the noise, etc. didn't affect their ability to move the ball.
Moreover, other than the UT loss last year, each of these QBs hung +30 on UF (once again, from memory, so it may not be entirely accurate). Do you think either of the LSU QBs can do that?
Although LSU has undeniable talent, neither of their QBs has the capability ot lead them in a hostile environment. Jordan Haire and Sanford Stadium are difficult places to play, but neither is as hostile as Fla. field, especailly at night.
The home field advantage is going to be good for at least numerous penalties/several points.
Although I'm a UF alumn, I have no problem going against them when the position presents itself - I have the future wager of UGA -2.5. But, I just think the play is with the more solid offense here.
